The Magic Monk in the Second Dimension

The next day, Xia Zhi came to the small courtyard of the Leaky Cauldron with his suitcase.

He counted three bricks above the dustbin, and then counted two horizontal, and tapped the brick three times with his wand, revealing the passage leading to Diagon Alley, and stepping into it.

Chapter 39 The Bet with Hermione

There are a lot of things to buy for the summer solstice, especially the pile of "textbooks" written by Gilderoy Lockhart, so you need to bring a suitcase that has been cast with the traceless stretching spell.

His books are not cheap.This time, nearly a thousand little wizards bought all his works in one go, and they could make a lot of money!

First, Xia Zhi came to Gringotts to withdraw money.

The goblin here still remembered this little wizard who was one of the very few who could exchange Galleons for pounds. Although he was not very good-looking, he still received him with a smile on his face.

After leaving Gringotts, Xia Zhi came to Lihen Bookstore to buy all the textbooks she needed.

For the owner of Lihen Bookstore, cooperating with Luo Teha to sell books is also a huge deal, which made him laugh from ear to ear.

You can see that you have made a lot of money.

According to the Hogwarts school opening notice, Xia Zhi prepared all the miscellaneous things and stuffed them into the suitcase.

Last semester, Hermione told Summer Solstice that her birthday was on September 9th.

Xia Zhi bought a small gift box and put the jade earrings she prepared during the summer vacation into it.

He returned to the Leaky Cauldron, had lunch, and read Lockhart.

I have to say that as a Ravenclaw, Lockhart's writing is particularly good.

Reading his novels can give people an immersive feeling, as if watching a movie.

In the past few days at the Leaky Cauldron, Xia Zhi had read all the seven novels, and even wanted to urge them to update them.

"Just shut Lockhart in a small dark room, and don't allow him to eat if he can't write [-] words a day!"

In the past few days, Hannah has not come to look for Xia Zhi again.It wasn't until the first day of school that she dragged her luggage and went to catch the train with Xia Zhi.

When chatting with Hannah, Xia Zhi used Legilimency to set her words on purpose.

He thought it was Voldemort's diary that came into Hannah's hands by chance.

The remnant soul in the Horcrux communicated with Hannah and guessed that the parasite on Quirrell was Voldemort's main soul.

As a result, the main soul was stunned by Xia Zhi's palm lightning, and escaped from Hogwarts in embarrassment, so he wanted to inquire about Xia Zhi's news.

Unexpectedly, it was the little witch who watched him take care of Hermione often, and was moved by this tenderness.

"It would be great if I also had a first-year student and would like to take good care of my gentle boyfriend!"

This left Xia Zhi speechless.

Don't guess what a little witch at this age is thinking!

After entering platform 9 and 4/3, Xia Zhi helped Hannah put away the salute, and looked for Hermione one car at a time.

After finding Hermione, he immediately walked over and sat with Hermione.

Hannah also met her roommate from Hufflepuff College in the car, and was dragged away by the other party with some disappointment.

Sitting next to Hermione, Xia Zhi greeted her.

"Hermione, long time no see. Did you miss me during the summer vacation?"

Seeing Xia Zhi again after two months, the little witch didn't expect him to ask such a direct question as soon as he came up.

Even if she really thinks about the summer solstice a lot during the summer vacation, she won't say it out loud.

The proud second grader raised his head and said arrogantly.

"I don't even have enough time to read books during the summer vacation, so I don't think about you!"

"But I miss you, Miss Hermione Granger."

Xia Zhi suddenly approached Hermione and blew into her ear.

The little witch's face turned red instantly.

She pushed Xia Zhi away, with a happy smile on her face, but she said firmly.

"Hate it! It's so itchy!"

When the train started, Hermione opened her small bag and took out a food box from it.

"This is a small cake made by my mother, let me share it with my classmates."

She said to Xia Zhi.

"Did you see Harry and Ron just now? You don't know, this summer, Harry blew up his aunt! He has been in a bad situation for the past month, living with Ron and his family."

"I didn't see them."

Xia Zhi shook his head lightly, took a bite of the cake, and praised.

"Well, the cake is delicious, Auntie's craftsmanship is really good!"

"I think so."

Hermione nodded, and also picked up a small cake and stuffed it into her mouth.

In the next moment, Xia Zhi smiled and said.

"But if Miss Hermione made it, I think it must taste better. How about we make a bet?"

Hermione gave Xia Zhi a sideways look, feeling that he was going to take advantage of her again.

"What's the bet? If you ask me to make you a small cake to eat, it's fine to prove that the small cake I make is better than the one made by my mother!"

"No, of course not."

Xia Zhi suggested to Hermione.

"If you are the first grader this semester, then I will promise you a request; if I am the first grader, then you will make a small cake for me next summer vacation. What do you think of this?"

Since it was a matter of study, Hermione's fighting spirit was immediately aroused.

"A word is settled!"

……

When the train stopped, Hermione and Xia Zhi found that there were still no figures of Harry and Ron around.

"Didn't they catch the car?"

Knowing what the two of them did, Xia Zhi smiled.

"Don't worry. The professors have a way."

Every year when the school starts, it means another batch of first-year students arrive.

The second-year little wizards watched the first-year little wizards walk into the hall tremblingly, and they were relieved to learn that the sorting ceremony was just to put on the sorting hat.

This reminded them all of themselves last year, with wicked smiles on their faces.

At the opening banquet, Dumbledore introduced everyone to the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Gilderoy Lockhart.

Immediately, many little witches who admired him gave extremely enthusiastic applause.

Including Hermione sitting next to Solstice.

After reading the seven "textbooks" of Defense Against the Dark Arts this year, Hermione respected Lockhart and looked forward to the arrival of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

This is not because of his appearance or those white teeth, but because of the opponent's excellent level of magic.

But soon, Hermione who was sitting next to Xia Zhi said regretfully.

"Professor Lupine actually taught quite well, but unfortunately he is a werewolf and cannot continue to teach at Hogwarts."

"Wolfman?"

Xia Zhi asked Hermione with a look of surprise when he heard about it for the first time.

"What's going on? Professor Lupine is actually a werewolf?!"

"Yeah. The Daily Prophet also wrote about it, but you can't see it in China."

Hermione sighed and explained to Xia Zhi.

"Professor Lupine revealed his identity as a werewolf during the summer vacation, and promoted the wolfbane potion that can keep the werewolf rational while transforming. Although Professor Lupine did not hurt the students, many parents are worried about letting the werewolf came to be a professor at Hogwarts, and he was fired by the school's board of trustees."

"So that's what happened!"

Xia Zhi suddenly nodded.

Would you rather give up such a lucrative and respected profession as a Hogwarts professor for the sake of other kind fellow werewolves?

Good man, Lupine, this is it!

Chapter 40 Talkative Lockhart

To say that the most outstanding freshmen in this class should be Luna Lovegood and Ginny Weasley.

Luna is a real Ravenclaw-looking crazy, saying things that don't fit in every day, and others don't understand, but she is very knowledgeable.

As the real heroine, Ginny finally married Harry and became the wife of the savior.

But now, both of them are just ignorant little witches.

Just as the sorting ceremony was about to begin, an official from the Ministry of Magic suddenly appeared from the door.

Next to him was Hagrid who opened the door for him.

"thank you, sir."

The official of the Ministry of Magic nodded slightly at Hagrid, then showed a somewhat troubled expression, and spoke directly in the auditorium.

"Professor Dumbledore, I'm from the Ministry of Magic. The Minister feels that there is something I need to tell you: We found that today some students were driving a flying car from home to Hogwarts, and they were killed by six or seven Muggles on the way. See. After investigation, the two students are Harry Potter and Ron Weasley."

In an instant, the entire auditorium fell silent.

Seeing this, he bowed slightly to Dumbledore and left Hogwarts.

"Then please go on. I will not disturb you."

Hearing the news, everyone was surprised for a while, and then the little wizards broke out with great enthusiasm and cheers.
